More millionares created under him is actually -not- a good thing. it means what he did was increase the wealth disparity massively...and in any civilization, that is not what you want to do. the middle class is the lifeblood of a nation.

Oh, come on. If Reagan had made you a millionaire, you'd be so happy you couldn't sh__ straight. What's got socialists/communists angry and depressed is that they view their lives as failures. The best way for them to cope is to blame that feeling of failure as being someone else's fault. It's a Darwinian world. A food chain. Buy yourself as many Reagan 44 cent stamps as you can send Christmas Cards with.

You clearly do not want to consider a economic model, and instead use terms like socialism around, with no understanding of what a socialist economy is.
Puh...lease. There you guys go again talking as though Obama created Marxism in any of its many forms that all amount to the same finality. It's been tried before. It was called the Soviet Union. And the Soviet Union failed.
Now, if you want to try Marxism/Socialism/Communism in a form that is economically successful, then you have to live like the Chinese. You can pretend to assimilate many millennia of Confucian/Taoist/Zen thought in a matter of days. That, or like many other progressive American college student, take an eighteen week course in Eastern Philosophy to fool yourself into thinking that you've got Chinese thinking down to an easily assembled erector set of the pscyhe.
Then when you are thinking like a Chinese, you can start complaining like a Chinese that your personal standard of living is making you unhappy. You can move to Hong Kong in an attempt to make a fortune in the Kung Fu Movie genre. Oh, the eighteen week college course in Eastern Philosophy doesn't qualify you to be another Bruce Lee? Well, there goes yet another business venture down the drain.
Still, you can use the excuse that you weren't really prepared to excel like a Marxist entrepreneur.
